The major topics of interest of the Technology and Innovation Management
Division of the Academy of Management include: studies of the innovation
process (innovation diffusion and the development, implementation, and
use of technological innovations such as office automation); organizational
processes by which technically oriented activities are integrated into
organizations; behavior and characteristics of scientists, engineers, and
other technical professionals; technological forecasting; the flow of technical
knowledge; organization and management of research and development projects
and the behavior of project teams; and studies of scientific and engineering-based
organizations, industrial R&D laboratories and research units in other
organizations.

"It is with
some regret that your newsletter co-editors, Jen Croissant and Franz Foltz,
are announcing their resignations. To give plenty of time for a transition,
our last edition will be the Summer 2004 printing, unless someone takes up
the call sooner. The two-year’s notice should be taken as a signal to
potential editors or co-editors that the work of producing the newsletter is
not at all onerous. Once you have a template and calendar established, it
is mostly a matter of communicating with section officers, and taking the
information that already comes across your desk and adding it to the
newsletter."

One of ten information centers at the National Agricultural

to a variety of information services and publications covering many aspects
of agricultural biotechnology.

The Cornell Theory Center is an interdisciplinary
research center to provide a national focal point for using high performance
computing as a tool to accelerate the solution of scientific, engineering,
and industrial problems, while at the same time advancing the basic and
applied research that underlies that universal tool. CTC's online science
book, Explorations, is intended to be an interactive journey into
the world of computational research for a wide range of viewers.

The IKE Group does research on economic, technical and
institutional change.The main research themes includes economic evolutionary
modelling, the theory of the firm, national systems of innovation, international
trade and competitiveness and the interplay between economic and ecological
issues.

This institute was founded as the Cold War was
being waged with particular bitterness between the nations of the Eastern
and Western Worlds. The intent was to provide a forum where scholars of
both sides might meet and communicate about matters of mutual interest
in the history of technology.

The museum houses three extensive permanent collections
of art, artifacts, drawings, and photographs: historical collections (visual
history of MIT), Hart Nautical Collection (materials relating to the
technical history of New England ship and small craft design), and the
Holographic collection.

This year's focus is designed to help children explore
and understand the myriad ways we communicate with one another. The NSTW
Online site provides teachers, parents, and youth leaders with hands-on
teaching activities that coincide with this year's theme (as well as those
for the past two years). The goal of the project is to teach children how
to observe real-world phenomena, analyze variables, draw conclusions, and
evaluate findings.

A free online
